Aging is not just about growing older; it is about making the most of every moment. Aging can be a rich and fertile space for a fresh sense of purpose, creativity, and opportunities to contribute.
About Our Speaker: David McNally
David McNally is the author of the bestselling books, EVEN EAGLES NEED A PUSH, THE EAGLE’S SECRET, MARK OF AN EAGLE, and BE YOUR OWN BRAND. He is also the producer of two award-winning documentaries, THE POWER OF PURPOSE and IF I WERE BRAVE.
David’s groundbreaking new book: IF YOU’RE ALIVE-Your Mission on Earth Isn’t Finished is aimed at those who are in the second half of life. It is an inspiring guide for answering the questions: How do I continue to live purposefully? How do I make my next years some of my best years?
Seniors will be inspired to explore new possibilities for their lives. Even the smallest of steps can lead to happiness, fulfillment, and a sense of accomplishment.
“The compensation for the stiffness in our bodies,” says David, “is the expansiveness of our imaginations.” This presentation explores how to cultivate a mindset of curiosity, contribution, and long-life learning.
Although this presentation is aimed at those who have reached the age of 60 plus, the rich themes will resonate with younger members of the Optimists Club.
